In the meantime, look at mobimotion (i think there is an android version) - it connects to ARC nicely
would i the new IPAD be better to use,i also have a IPOD 3RD GEN
The problem with tablets, from what I've seen is most run off android (ideally we want Windows 7). I've been looking at netbooks and most of the 7inch ones use windows ce (not the best for what we want to be able to do with our robots). So, we are now looking at 10 inch netbooks and many of them run windows 7 and are reasonably priced $200-$300. We just adjusted Bobs width to accommodate the 10 inches needed.
second netbooks dont fit inside most robots ,best to use is a ITX board
scond WINDOWS 7 you need more power to run 64 bits or if running 32 bits i found is much much slower because of all the add-ons using a benchdrive test,that if you look at every robot made ,new or older all use WINDOWS XP PRO or LINUS,NONE ON THE MARKET USES WINDOWS 7
most like it beacuse it the lastest software and has a lot of bells and whistles
what happens when windows 8 then windows 9 and then windows 10 come out
it great for desktops and where you need 32 bits or 64 bits ,but if running on a robot it doesnt do great,BUT for some robots that doesnt need much speed it may or should work fine
also the test i did was with 32 bits,and with 64 bits it was almost the same only double the current
thinking that why the big robot companies who have the best engineers working on robot design to sell
and over $50,000 or so,dont use WINDOWS 7
I THINK THAT US ROBOT BUILDERS are the only ones,because its a new system software out there
soon windows 9 and windows 10 and so on,because everyone wants the lastest system software
got very lucky on ebay 7 for $340 ,big major score and all worked with memory
they go for about $200 each with memory
others i got for $120 each with artigo case
so check ebay for ARTIGO OR VIA PX10000G
I assume you guys are talking about cobbling together your own computer to control your bots? If I was a sane individual I would simply do things the easy way, but no, I have to go way beyond my ability/brains or talent, so I am asking: you guys must be programming not using the easy control version? What do you need to make it work, I am assuming something like rasberry pi? (which I am thinking is a dumbed down version of linux - please correct me if I am wrong which is usually).
Seeing as I am already making tools so that I can make my first bot, may as well make that too. Hey its all about learning, no?
on using a small computer,very easy to make and install,dont have to be a computer tech to do it,
manual tell how to do it step by step ,and to add video screen,thats very easy and cheap,all you need is a flat screen to fit the robot you are making that has a video input and cheap $5 vga to video adapter cable,some robots you need a screen some you dont or wont look good
all you do is plug in memory,add cable for hard drive,ssd is the best,if robot bumps or falls down you dont lose your drive,second add a 12 volts atx power supply or unless you get one built in,load the software and set the bios and your ready to go
most laptops take up a lot of room,plus more weight and battery usage,and charging it much higher
i am computer tech and electric engineer
